Model and Footprint

The model measures 12 by 2.2 yards across its base and stands 2.2 yards tall. Ballista is not one model but 3: the client swaps display between placements, and 4 placements of the 9 read use the one measured above. Placement scale runs from 0.74x to 1x, so the smallest and largest copies of it differ by a factor of 1.4. Its art is client file 197950.

The 9 located placements are split across 4 maps, the two furthest apart on one map stand 26 yards from each other on Northrend, and they range from 25.4 to 341.9 yards of altitude, a 316.5 yard climb between the lowest and the highest.
